Abraxis

The tail end of the massive Tremors-a-Thon inspired weekend ended up in the wee small hours of Monday morning, with a double shot from the Preserve VHS library. Calling up two titles that we have long been wanting to see, there was a back to back viewing of The Kid with the 200 IQ and Abraxis, Guardian of the Universe, both with amazing stats and at least moderate follow through. 'Kid' features Gary Coleman in one of his fantastic made-for-tv appearances, and he was only 16 real years old when the film was made, and played a 13 year old - so close! Abraxis has a cast to die for, with Jesse 'the body/the mind' Ventura vs. Sven-Ole Thorsen with the biggest role I've ever seen him in (other than Captain Power, but at least here he was the other star!). I can recommend both of these movies to like minded folks, and while they won't blow you away they both have their moments. Oh, and Crispin Glover makes a short appearance in 'Kid' - awesome!
